1. Stress susceptibility, beta-blocker use and cancer survival
Sammanfattning : Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic stress may influence tumour biology through activation of neuroendocrine pathways and thus impair survival. However, measuring stressful exposures and their influence on health is challenging, partly due to substantial inter-individual variation in stress susceptibility. LÄS MER
2. Antibiotics use in relation to colorectal cancer risk, survival and postoperative complications
Sammanfattning : Background: Growing evidence suggests that antibiotic-induced dysbiosis of gut microbiota potentially contributes to colorectal cancer development and oncological outcomes. However, the role of antibiotics in colorectal cancer incidence, survival and postoperative outcomes at a population level remains incompletely understood. LÄS MER
3. Rectal cancer : the influence of surgical technique on morbidity, mortality and survival
Sammanfattning : Surgery is still the most common treatment for rectal cancer, being the most effective and cost-efficient modality. However, it is not without risk, nor without controversies. LÄS MER
4. Breast cancer in young women : aspects on mortality and local recurrence
Sammanfattning : The general aim of the thesis was to gain increased insight into the long-term prognosis for young women with breast cancer. In a population-based cohort of 22,017 women with breast cancer, we studied prognosis by age. Women aged .. LÄS MER
5. Physical activity, body mass index and prostate cancer : studies of risk, progression and mortality
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in developed countries, but it is still unclear what causes the disease. Body mass index (BMI) and physical activity are modifiable lifestyle factors with the potential to influence the development and progression of prostate tumors and may provide alternative strategies for reducing both prostate cancer incidence and mortality.
